Definitions

  • US 4 456 289 A discloses a front face according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks, and to propose a front-end arrangement which provides a high degree of standardization of the structural facade, and this for a large number of choices of location of the lock on the front face. .
  • Figure 1 there is shown in perspective the structural front 1 of a front face of a motor vehicle.
  • Figure 1 as well as Figures 2, 4, and 5, have were oriented along the X axis, which represents the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, directed from behind to forward (ie in the forward direction of the vehicle) and assumed to be horizontal.
  • the facade 1 is supposed to be in its mounting orientation on the vehicle.
  • the structural facade 1 is, in the example shown, of hybrid constitution, that is to say made partially of metal, and partially of plastic.
  • the invention is naturally not limited to such a facade constitution.
  • the structural facade 1 shown has a generally parallelepipedal shape, whose average plane is substantially vertical, and which has a main geometric front face and a rear main geometric face.
  • the structural facade 1 comprises an upper horizontal beam 3 defining the upper side of the facade, which extends transversely with respect to the axis X.
  • This beam 3 is of hybrid design, in that it has externally metal walls 3A , 3B, between which are formed ribs 3C overmolded plastic.
  • the structural facade 1 further comprises a lower beam 5 defining the lower side of the rectangular shape of the facade, as well as lateral uprights, right 7 and left 9, which connect together the upper and lower beams 3 and 5.
  • the structural facade 1 is further provided with a central upright 11, also of hybrid design.
  • the structural façade 1 is provided on the one hand to be fixed rigidly to other structural elements of the vehicle, such as longitudinal members, and on the other hand to constitute a support for bodywork elements or functional equipment, such as optical blocks, cooling circuit elements (radiator, fan assembly, etc.) etc.
  • the structural facade 1 is provided to support a hood lock, intended to ensure the locking in the closed position of the front cover, namely, for the most common vehicles, the engine compartment cover.
  • the structural facade 1 has a region 15 for fixing the hood lock, at the level of the upper beam 3.
  • the fixing region 15 is defined by two plates 21, 22 each formed of a portion of the metal wall 3A on the one hand, and a part of the metal wall 3B on the other hand.
  • the plates 21, 22 extend substantially in the same almost vertical plane, and project outwardly of the upper beam 3.
  • the plates 21, 22 are provided with fixing holes, two of which are formed in the upper plate 21, and a 26 is formed in the lower plate 22. These fixing holes 25, 26 are accessible (for a rivet, a screw , or any other additional fixing member) from the rear face of the plates 21, 22, which is flush with the rear face of the upper beam 3.
  • the holes 25, 26 may be of any type suitable for accurate and reliable fastening of the lock or an interface piece as described below.
  • the holes 25, 26 may be smooth or tapped, circular or oblong, depending on the chosen method of attachment.
  • FIG. 2 there is shown a front-end arrangement of known type, in which a hood lock 31 is fixed rigidly to the frontage 1 in the region 15 of fixing the lock, and this by a direct connection of the latter to the plates 21, 22.
  • direct connection it is meant that the lock 31 is mounted on the plates 21, 22 without added interface piece, interposed between the lock and platelets.
  • the lock 31 is provided with only two fixing holes 35, corresponding to the holes 25 of the wafer 21.
  • the lock 31 is fixed to the upper wafer 21, for example by screwing or riveting, at the In this example, the fixing hole 26 of the lower plate 22 is left free, it being understood that other types of lock could be mounted on the structural façade 1, in particular three-point locks. which would require the use of the hole 26.
  • FIG. 3 there is shown, on a larger scale, a support plate 41 as used in a front face according to the invention, for moving the fastening region of the lock relative to the region defined by FIG. the plates 21, 22, themselves from the structural facade 1.
  • This plate 41 in the embodiment illustrated in Figure 3, consists essentially of a molded plastic part, which has the general shape of a stirrup.
  • the plate 41 has indeed two lateral branches 43, 45 connected by a central branch or bridge 47.
  • the first branch 43 is formed as a plate, the inner face 49, that is to say that facing the other leg 45, is substantially planar.
  • the plate 43 is shaped to fit the fixing region 15 of the front 1, in a position where the inner face 49 is in plane support on the plates 21, 22.
  • the plate 43 is provided with three holes of fixing 55, 56 (two of which only are visible in FIG. 3) corresponding to the fixing holes 25, 26 of the plates 21, 22.
  • corresponding is meant that these three fixing holes have the same relative position as those of the plates 21, 22, and that they can receive the same male fasteners (screws, rivets, ...) for securing the two parts.
  • the plate 41 can be mounted and fixed on the structural front 1 at the fixing region 15, by similar means, that is to say for example by screwing or riveting, to those used to secure the lock. 31 directly on the facade 1.
  • the second branch 45 is formed as a block of greater thickness than that of the plate 43, which has a substantially planar outer face 59.
  • the plate 43 and the block 45 have substantially parallel median planes, and the inner 49 and outer 59 faces are substantially parallel.
  • the block 45 is formed with two holes 65 for fixing the lock 31, which correspond to the holes 35 of the lock.
  • the holes 65 have a relative positioning identical to the relative positioning of the holes 55, and have an identical diameter. They are also of the same type, that is to say that they can receive the same male fasteners, whether smooth or threaded for example.
  • the lock 31 can be mounted and fixed, in particular by screwing or riveting, on the block 45, whose outer face 59 defines the locking region 67 of the lock, in the same way that it can be mounted and fixed on platelets 21, 22 in the absence of platinum (as shown in Figure 2).
  • the plate 41 is formed with a series of ribs 69 parallel to each other, and oriented from one branch to the other 43, 45 (see also Figure 5). These stiffening ribs of the plate extend externally on the first branch 43, and on the bridge 47.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 there is shown partially a front face of a motor vehicle according to the invention, which comprises a frontage 1 of the type illustrated in FIG. 1, a lock 31, for example a type shown in Figure 2.
  • the latter is mounted on the facade 1 through the plate 41 shown in Figure 3.
  • the plate 41 is attached and fixed, for example by screwing or riveting on the front 1, at the fixing region 15, the lock 31 being fixed in a similar manner on the plate 41 at the attachment region 67.
  • the plate 41 is fixed at three points, at the three holes 55, 56 to the plates 21, 22 of the structural facade 1.
  • the plate 41 When it is fixed on the front 1, as has been shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the plate 41 extends from one main face to the other of the frontage 1, on either side of the plane. vertical median of the latter.
  • the first branch 43 extends substantially from the rear side of the facade 1, while the second branch 45 extends substantially from the front side.
  • the bridge 47 is supported, by an inner portion, on an upper edge 81 of the facade 1, consisting of an upper edge of the wafer 21.
  • the plate 41 thus allows, without modification (in any case without significant modification) of the structural facade 1, to deport the position of the lock 31 relative to the location 15 provided by default on the structural facade 1 itself. even.
  • the plate is made, preferably in one piece, of metal.
  • the plate 141 of Figure 6 is made from a metal sheet cut and folded to take the form of a stirrup, which has a first side branch 143, a second side branch 145, and a trigger guard 147 connecting the two branches together.
  • the first leg 143 has an inner face 149 and three attachment holes 155, 156, and the second leg 145 has an outer face 159 and two fixing holes 165.
  • the fixing of the plate 141 takes place, on the structural facade 1, in a similar manner to that described for Figure 3.
